      they dont see conservatives as tyrants. Conservatism is a team-based ideology. Those on the team have leave to break the law with impunity, and are even lauded for it. It only becomes a problem with progressive liberals try to do it, then it’s wrong and worthy of insurrection.

    They apparently elect some fascist egoist and want to rule the world. How can they be so utterly narrowminded… they cannot even think about the WHOLE of human kind on this tiny ball in this split second of it’s excistance and act accordingly? Is this counrtry really that stupid? WTF is going on??? Did evolution made an error with these ppl? I am worried, dissapointed and angry about the devolution they create. We are easily 85 years back in time.

    Could nature and biology please take care of Trump, please. Before billionaires fund, find and can afford life-extending drugs and live for 200 years.

      Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom, US imperialism, capitalism, western chauvinism and nearly a century of liberalism led us here. We need to remove the ruling class from power, hold them accountable, restore justice, and create a new future, free from the corrupting influence of capitalism

    European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

      It’s the 22nd Amendment

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

      Pretty unambiguous.

      Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

      Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

      EDIT: extended rant

      I believe an amendment to the constitution forbids it, but I’m not 100% sure

      To Trump: Technically Constitutionally, you’re NOT entitled to a third term, as you’re inelligible to run for a third term. Sincerely, all Americans

      Y’all gotta make sure term length can’t be redefined

      You’re going to end up with presidential term limits like copywrite law

        article II, section 1, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America:

        The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

        It’s not even in an amendment, it’s defined in the original text. No way he gets enough states together to ratify an amendment to increase his term length.

          The 22nd amendment of the United states constitution, fully ratified in 1951, begins as such:

          No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

          Term length is set to four years for the President and his VP in Article II, Section 1 of the constitution itself (original text) and has not been amended or altered.

          Trump needs 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment, he doesn’t and won’t ever have that.
